Thank you for visiting my site and reviewing my first mystery
novel. Below is the jacket back that pretty much gives you an idea of the complexities of the story, however, let me
offer you a comment from one of the past residents of Carter Falls as an introduction:
They say that only humans can be evil. That only humans have the capacity to know right from wrong, but I think that they are incorrect. I believe that other things can be evil as well.
I believe that animals can be evil, that tools and carriages and houses can be evil, and I believe that entire towns
can be evil.
Carter Falls, New Hampshire is such a town. It is old and dirty and dark
and evil. Edgar Allen Poe vacationed there.
H. P. Lovecraft had a summer home there that his aunt left him. Ambrose
Bierce was there the month before he disappeared. Coleridge never visited there. If
he had his fiction may have been more brutal, more vicious, and he would probably have gone mad like some of the current residents.
I know of this town because I lived there, I loved there, I escaped from there.
I would still be there if my sense of self preservation had not compelled me to run on a cold snowy night to my horse
and ride until I saw the lights of civilization far to the south. This is a warning
to anyone who may visit there. Do not stay long or you may stay forever.
Now let's go to the book jacket and see what this story is all
about:
After a brutal murder at the Taiwanese
Embassy Danny St. Claire, National Security Agency Bureau Chief must assume the identity and physical form of his dead cousin
Special Agent Claire Daniels in order to stop the murderer from killing again. Teamed
with Dr. Rachel Jackson, a brilliant psychiatrist, the two delve into the mysteries of a town so evil and ancient that the
impossible is commonplace. With a backdrop of myth and legends the two, with
help from four male agents, discover that some secrets are best left hidden at all costs.
